What point on the line y=9x+8 is closest to the origin

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marat540 [252]2 years ago
3 0

to find the point, find the location

realize that the shortest line that crosses through the origin and y=9x+8 is perpendicular to y=9x+8

perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1

y=9x+8 has a slope of 9

9*m=-1, m=-1/9

the slope of the mystery line is -1/9

since it passes through the origin, the y intercept is 0

y=(-1/9)x is the equation of the line from the point to the origin

find the intersection of this line and the original line

set them equal to each other

(-1/9)x=9x+8

multily both sides by 9

-x=81x+72

minus 81 both sides

-82x=72

divide both sides by -82

x=-36/41

find y

y=(-1/9)x

y=(-1/9)(-36/41)

y=4/41

the point is (\frac{-36}{41},\frac{4}{41})

Use the Venn diagram to calculate probabilities. Circles A and B overlap. Circle A contains 15, circle B contains 10, and the in
grin007 [14]

Answer:

(B) P(B)=\dfrac{16}{31}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Venn diagram, n(AUB)=31

The given probabilities in the option are calculated below:

P(A)=\dfrac{21}{31}\\\\P(B)=\dfrac{16}{31}\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}= \dfrac{6/31}{16/31} =\dfrac{6}{16}=\dfrac{3}{8} \\\\P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}= \dfrac{6/31}{21/31} =\dfrac{6}{21}=\dfrac{3}{7}

The only correct option is the probability of B which is \frac{16}{31}

A fountain is made up of two semicircles and a quarter circle. Find the perimeter of the fountain. Round answers to nearest tent
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

39.275

Step-by-step explanation:

the diameter of the semicircle is 10

A semicircle is half a circle, and a quarter circle is 1/4 of a circle.

Perimeter of a semicircle is ¶d/2

= 3.142 x 10/2 = 3.142 x 5 = 15.71

For 2 semicircles that will be 15.71 x 2 = 31.42

For the quarter circle, perimeter is ¶d/4 = 3.142 x 10/4 = 3.142 x 2.5 = 7.855

Total perimeter = 31.42 + 7.855 = 39.275
